Red Star,1895345,Platoon Leader,105th High-Power Howitzer Artillery Brigade

[Bill Garvy]

Thanks, Eryk, I just research them as they come along, preferrably with their Order Books, like this example, which I procurred on our favorite auction site. (Actually I need to go back and research the Red Stars I already have!) It was pointed out to me how long Junior Lieutenant remained in rank. It's interesting to see a Red Star recommendation for two actions over two years apart. I would have thought a Bravery Medal for the first action in 1941, and then his Red Star for the action in 1944. Sadly there was no Personnel Record with the research, just what you see here.
